Pantelleria - Queen of Pantelleria's cuisine: Caper delicacies | At our Neighbour's Table

The volcanic island of Pantelleria lies between Sicily and Tunisia and is also called the "Black Pearl of the Mediterranean" because of its beauty. There are no sandy beaches here, but steep cliffs and a whipping wind. Everything seems to duck from the winds: olive trees, vines and the houses. Almost all the houses are built of lava blocks. A legacy of the Arabs who settled the island in 700 AD for five centuries and also influenced the island's cuisine. The caper is the queen of Pantelleria's cuisine.

Thanks to their aroma and fragrance, the capperi panteschi are considered a delicacy. They are cultivated all over the island and grow wild between crevices, on walls and by the wayside. The capers are harvested by hand, matured in salt and made into a variety of dishes. More and more Panteskers find the hard physical work too much and leave the island. But the caper farmer Luciano Modica is doing everything he can to prevent the loss of a culture that is unique to him. He is closely connected to the traditions of Pantelleria and wants to pass them on to his daughter Sofia.

In his spare time, Luciano cooks the island's specialities such as cous cous pantesco with fried vegetables, fish and oriental spices, caper paste and a pesto with almonds. His wife Annamaria bakes the beautiful ricotta-filled pastry flowers Baci Panteschi and the intricately decorated Mustazzoli biscuits with Sofia.

Io sono stata a Pantelleria in vacanza per un mese 40 anni fa..... non c:ers niente altro.che la natura ed era meravigliosamente affascinante

[@the-chipette]

You can really see the North African influences in this island’s cuisine, culture and landscape.
The food looks fresh and delicious, the air quality clean and crisp, and the people hospitable and welcoming.

[@onetwocue]

[@zappalajonhatan3161]

Now I understand why these little berries taste so good. Must be wonderful to live in such a beautiful place.
I hope they don't lose their land to some giant corporation.

[@integratedhatespreader]

The fact that you don't have a gazillion subs baffles me. Your content is superb mate! I want more of these.

[@JbelldigsDaydreamGarden]

What a stunning document of this unique life. Bravo!

[@NilsenMultiserviceArtTaste]

[@Sagittarius-A-Star]

Luciano really seems to be a good guy.

[@ted1091]

Thank you for this excellent video

[@verawiegel7123]

Very, very nice! Pantelleria is so wonderfully beautiful!!! And the family is so gorgeus and wonderful!!
Thank you!!

[@Eddie859]

Someday if i find capers in shops i would definitely buy. Very curious how they taste like, over here capers are not common at all

[@Eddie859]

That is a really-really nice home. And the view is great! I would be really sad to let someone else use that house, but alas we need money to survive. Over here we have something very similar to flour waffle, just that we eat it by itself. No cheese, no filling

[@sirmi9868]

[@1qwertyrewq1]

those caper bushes look very fake like they were likely pulled from the wild and "planted" in the just-plowed field

[@King-ur7ev]

Envious basher hahahah
